"The challenges I am currently facing is access to finance and food security.
Before my husband divorced me, I was selling a small business that helped to build our house, paid our children school fees and sustained the family, but since he left me the struggles has not been easy and the worse to it our house broke down due to a heavy storm. We moved to one of our neighbors house where we are renting one of their rooms. My source of income nowadays is sales of charcoal, I have to pay some chain saw operators to cut wood for me to prepare charcoal for sale. The earnings from there help me to sell wrappers and other goods which I pay my rent, my kids school fees and find food for the family. My husband divorced me and left all the kids with me to shoulder their responsibilities. The burden to care for four children as a single mother is not an easy task. I will really appreciate assistance that will improve my livelihood for the better."

The structure my household stays in, is made of mud and covered with thatch but it leaks so much during the rainy season, that makes it so uncomfortable for resting moreover, my kids are all in school and is hard to get tuition for them. If there was money, these could have been taken care of so easily."

Silas
received a $490 initial payment.
"At the moment I received a message that confirmed the receipt of my first transfer, I was very happy as this was a confirmation that the plans we had been making were soon going to work out. Since we were enrolled in the program, I had been planning with my spouse as we make consideration of what we needed most in our household. On that morning, I was already out with the motorbike as I had been working in the nearby town and bringing back the day's income after giving the owner of the bike the daily agreed amount. I became so excited and had to ride home first since I needed to share the joy with my spouse."
